I'm in Great Health, What Do I Need Essential Oils For?

So all is well and there is no need to consider medicines or health care products. The problem is that essential oils are not something that fit simply into a category like medicine. They are one small part of a greater whole that encompasses health, wellness, and lifestyle. Just as we make choices about diet, exercise, and lifestyle, so too do we make other choices as well. Oils are simply a building block that we can use to supplement our lives. Yes, most essential oils can be used to treat ailments, illnesses and injuries, but that does not mean that we can simply cubbyhole them as medicine, and therefore disregard them if we feel fine.

Essential oils can be used to maintain, modify, or enhance aspects of our lives. Various oils can be used to help adjust aspects of how we function or in preventative measures. If you are a runner you might want to consider doTerra's Breathe which opens up your airways quite effectively. Consumption of Lemongrass, or Basil can have a long-term effect on our cholesterol levels, and citrus based essential oils are a treasure trove of long and short term benefits. Studies continue to show that healthy choices today have a huge impact years down the road and essential oils can easily be part of that regimin.

Of course most people think of essential oils as tools for aromatherapy that are used to have an effect on moods. And that is absolutely true. Studies bear out over and over again that aromatherapy is highly effective and does elicit beneficial physical responses. This might take the form of using doTerra's Lavender or Serenity to relax or InTune for concentration or perhaps the scent of Peppermint for a quick dose of energy. Any of these options and a whole host of others are great enhancements to a persons life.

Finally, essential oils are a fun and simple way to add a little bit of zing to things. A drop of the right oil in your water or a recipe is a great way to spice things up in a healthy, happy, and safe way. I actually look forward to a tall glass of water. Whether we are using essential oils as medicine, or to maintain and modify the mechanics of our lives, or maybe just to add a bit of flavor and scent to our lives, essential oils have much to offer.
